Did you guys watch the original series or go straight to Brotherhood? I watched the original first and found it added to the enjoyment

One of us ...

Lately I have been using the anime movie redline to get people to try anime doesn't have much talking and it's gorgeous
Yrmsteak
As a filthy casual non-weeb, FMA Brotherhood is one of my favorite series of all media, not just anime.
meedle
Same.
tehmarxman
But did the show make her cry?
Dyslexicbirch
When i met my SO he had never watch any anime (other than dbz) or doctor who he has now watched all DW from 9 to now and loves anime
RoboPencil
I ruined FMA for myself, because I watched the adaptation before reading the manga/watching brotherhood so I can’t accept the real storyline
vipe650r
I just finished it. I WANT MORE. And holy crap, that blooper reel!

YOUR FACE ESPLODE!

I feel like Erased could be a great intro to anime, nothing weird or anything, Just a great show overall imo
Meowflyingcat
give clannad a try I was in tears for season 2(afterstory)
keyblader1985
I own and love both series, but for my money original > Brotherhood
mouseyroxy1
Two weeks? Pathetic
amynition
Exactly how it happened with me too, but I watched it all in 3 days
TheDudeanator
I got my wife hooked on Inuyasha
weischbier
Now Golden Boy!
Mazrix
Among the many that absolutely need to be watched in English. "So, how do you like my swimming?"
Doczomb
Ready for the movie.
Ristle
I saw someone watching it on their phone on the bus to work this morning, then someone with a FMA hoodie at lunch WHAT IS HAPPENING
MertenPaavo
Got mine to watch one piece and she finished the whole series in 2 days!
BarretXIII
Now sit her down with "Made In Abyss". And as a precaution, prepare an apocalypse-worthy supply of tissue and ice cream for later

The Nanachi arc was incredible

You gotta watch the original first. The intro and backstory gets them hooked faster. Once they get to Nina they won't be able to stop.

Ed...ward?

I started episode 1 with my girlfriend last night and told me it was too animey, how far in did it take your wife?
GuardsmanMiku
tbf there are animes that are less anime-y
sirbartonslady
Episode 1 of Brotherhood is crap. Once you get past the Liore stuff, it gets really good, but the beginning is shaky because of prev series
Supersaiyanricksanchez
3 or 4 i think. you have to keep pushing
MagmaShake
Just like buttsex...
Kingaby
"I don't think a cartoon could ever make me cry" - Kingaby's wifey, episode 3 (retracted in face of later evidence)
Arracor
Good. Good.... now make her watch Madoka.
Kignite
Episode 4 I think
Cassian
It's the same reason I don't like Brotherhood. That and the ending. I much prefer the 2003 anime.
TimeAgain
What, you mean the actual ending?
Cassian
Yes, I disliked the 'actual ending' for reasons I detailed further below ITT. And again; Hitchcock vs Garris, faithful ain't always better
williamroze123
Scars voice much better in brotherhood
ibrokemyselflmao
What is so great about brotherhood? I loved the 2003 "original" version
Cassian
I will admit it is better animated; otherwise, it follows the manga more faithfully. But yeah, I have my problems with the FMA:B version.
DarkZalgo
If it's better animated and follows the story more accurately what problems could you possibly have with that version?
Cassian
(SPOILERS AHEAD)I don't like the original story's ending. In a series where most conflicts were resolved with intellect and creativity, the
sirbartonslady
Brotherhood has Gen. Armstrong, so there's one thing going for it.
derock789
I liked the early 2003 one but once brotherhood diverted from the source material it got pretty good. Although I can't say I liked the end
Cassian
The source material is the manga, which Brotherhood follows almost to a T. It's the 2003 that made up its own story :)
derock789
Ah yeah now I remember, 2003 the manga wasn't finished so they kinda made up their own stuff as they went along. Still explains why the 1/2
wetred
I started watching this last week and couldn't get in to it and this post has now encouraged me to continue. thank you @op
Supersaiyanricksanchez
wetred
aaaand watched four episodes in a row

CobraCommander04
That sounds like the opposite of unsuccessful...

@OP should have prepended WAS to this.

It didn't work until it did.

I sweat this sites become dumber and dumber by the hour
thegrammargestapo
For instance, you forgot to check your spelling, omitted an apostrophe, and omitted a period.

username is relevant
timwithit
That's spelling not grammer.
thegreatwhiteblackartblackestmaster
Spelling is included in grammar.
thegrammargestapo
It's punctuation and spelling, both of which are parts of grammar.
PsychoPenguin
I can't remember if I got my wife to watch this or Death Note first. Both are fantastic gateways into creating weebs.
Pupcakes
My boyfriend started with Evangelion. It's still my favorite to this day.
DaveWesh
Got mine to watch Soul Eater first, YuYuHakusho, then FMA:B and now she's pissed that most anime she likes are only 20 episodes long.
xrufus7x
Limited series the best ones though. Gurren Lagann, Code Geass and Blue Gender are other examples of this.
ItsSirUnimpressive
Hopefully they'll brotherhood Soul Eater. There's a point they just throw the manga out the window and say fuck it. Love the animation tho.
BeetleDaddy
fullmetal was the first one i had ever seen, ive fallen down a rabbit hole
zackofspades
Brotherhood or original?
DamianWinters
I watched original then brotherhood, I recommend that order to everyone.
zackofspades
Likewise, original is my favorite anime of all time. It’s the perfect length and pace to tell an intense but brisk saga.
DamianWinters
I found them to be about equal, brotherhood had the better ending but the original did Scar better.
ForTheSwarm
Code Geass is the best gateway.
AdvonKoulthar
ButteryButtsButterflyCups
that's how i got my boyfriend in.
ForTheSwarm
The way you said that makes it sound like you did more than watch Code Geass. Geass and Chill
ButteryButtsButterflyCups
AdvonKoulthar
I think Devil is a Part Timer is a better intro.
Compound515
Watch "your name" with the wifey... Good story, heart wrencher in spots
2and900
Don't tell them its a gateway drug!
yellowturtle01
I said I didn't like anime before I watched brotherhood. The tables have turned
IAintCheatin
Steins;gate was my gateway
Phenomeno
IDK, I watched the whole thing because my friend highly recommended it and it never really got good for me. The only think I liked was 1/?
Phenomeno
2/ Hohenheim's backstory. Before that I had watched AoT and OPM, which I liked because they weren't very anime-y.
nytequiller
Yep, only anime I watched was Naruto when I was really young and then Death Note sucked me in to a dozen more.
RobErtE87
next step: Great Teacher Onizuka, Erased and (on a separate note) Gravity Falls
StupotJC
A big fat yes to gravity falls!
Skrai
Erased is the best anime I've ever seen. Simply incredible.

GURREN LAGANN BEFORE ALL
jmaNn89
I almost didn't watch GTO cause of the weird synopsis... Sure glad I decided to try it though, it was great.
GuardsmanMiku
erased is one of the few anime that i've consistently sat trough the outro to every episode. It's almost as good as the show itself
DamianWinters
Erased was great, until the ending which I hated so much.
majesticnaka
Why did you hate the ending? I mean can a soul who gone through despair and back have a hopeful ending instead of a Cinderella ending?
DamianWinters
I disliked the ending because, the coma was stupid, the killer was so obvious and had the worst motives, they removed all Airis scenes 1/2
DamianWinters
at the hospital so it made the Kayo thing even worse. Pretty much everything about the last 2 episodes were crap, wish I could erase them2/2

Steven Universe, just stay away from the fandom.

Get that western shit outta here! But +1 for GTO

Miraculous: Adventures of Lady Bug and Cat Noir!!!!!
weischbier
Fun Fact: TOEI Animations is involved in this^^
commoncomment
Throws more Western shows: Avatar The Last Airbender
chunkblaster
Adventure time!
lonelyforsakentorturedheart
The only anime that produced by West that everyone should watch.
beardedheathen
Adventure time, over the garden wall
CardboardPizzas
If anyone wants any more western animation with good storylines and settings, watch The Venture Bros, Over the Garden Wall and Samurai Jack.
Supersaiyanricksanchez
over the garden wall is absolute quality

FullMetalHokage
Dubbed or Subtitles?
defunctone
What's it matter?
FullMetalHokage
What? The dubbed voices are awful compared to the subtitled one.
defunctone
My point is that it doesn't matter what language you watch it in. It doesn't affect the anime.
FullMetalHokage
Well the animation it doesn't. But the experience it does. People will forgive visuals a lot more than audio.
defunctone
Which is why you watch it in whichever language you find to your liking.
